It's not a very strong case, I know that, but I need to vote and it's the best I theory I can come up with at the moment and, as I said, I'm not happy with following neither of the possible bandwagons so far.

But yeah, with all the hype it would be interesting to see what Glirdan is.

Goodnight, I'll go to sleep now and hope a lucky star will shine on me tonight.

But... that's... the same thing.

In any case, I haven't seen anything yet that makes me not want to vote Greenie, and I have rehearsal in a few minutes, so...

++Greenie

I still think she's the most suspicious (as for the Glirdan wagon, there are points both for and against him, but I'm seeing some people voting him for what it will say about others, and I just can't agree with that).

What are the votes now?

Glirdan 3, Inzil 2, Greenie 1, Nog 1, Shasta 1?

Starting to spread already, I see...

Well I'm going to sleep now. I hope you lynch Glirdy or some (other) wolf!

Hello all, sorry I haven't been around much until now but I've had a rather crazy day. Ok... a list:

Innocent:

Lottie – sheriff

Leaning Innocent:

Skip – he seems genuine and new at this… and not in the new-helped-by-packmates way either. He speculates on wolf-theory that experience has shown the rest of us in a way that to me seems like an innocent getting no help from pack-mates.
Brinn – she seems like she’s making an effort and she isn’t being very suspicious
Mira – maybe it’s just because I know how she plays but she isn’t looking very furry to me
Agan – seems like she’s making sense and after my epic analysis of her yesterday I’m thinking she’s an ordo -- now after her Zil vote I'm not so sure ...
Nerwen – she’s seems to be making sense… she’s someone I should probably do a thorough analysis of… most likely toMorrow if I’m alive
Lommy – nothing of her’s really sticks out as being furry
Greenie – same as Lommy really

No Idea/ No Read
Nog - seems not like the Nog I've played with before... I don't yet know what this says
Zil - is getting a rather lot of suspicion lately but I'm not quite sure why... he just seems a bit defensive for my taste at the moment.
Shasta - something about him isn't sitting quite right with me
Morsul – I didn’t like his opportunistic vote for Sally yesterDay
Legate – what is a little concerning about Legate right now is that Sally voted for him Day One… this is nothing against Legate but it makes me question my general tendency to trust him
WinWin - need to hear more from him toDay

Leaning Guilty

Glirdy - I wish he was here to defend himself but I think that it makes more sense to lynch him and find out his role than to just leave him to be a constant worry on us.

I should be around until Deadline now though I have to do homework so I can't do any major analysis.

I'm still not all that enthused about lynching Glirdan, even though it could indeed give us some useful information.
For one thing, he posted on the Admin Thread he would be around very little toDay, and I would like to hear what he has to say about yesterDay's events before voting him. I don't think he was still around when I gave my take on and voted for him yesterDay.
Also, even though as I said, the scenario of a wolf-on-wolf between him and Sally is maybe not really as far-fetched as I initially thought, I still don't think it's likely.
I would prefer to vote for Mira, or maybe someone who now looks just as bad to me, Greenie, with her votes for Lottie (Day 1), Shasta (Day 2), and now Nog (Day 3). She seems to have made a point, especially after she was suspected for the Lottie vote, of staying out of the spotlight and voting safely. She also said some things toDay that make me uneasy.

I don't know about Mira. I can see why she looks suspicious and I kind of share the feeling, but I haven't had time to check her, so I'm quite undecided with her. If you guys think there are good reasons to lynch her then do it. I just don't have time to dwell into that myself toDay.

There are enough votes to come to lynch anyone.

But I would say I find Greenie quite innocentish. Her explanations on D1 felt quite honest and true and even if she has managed to fool me big time a few times I still have a gut feeling she's not a baddie. As Lommy said, she tends to suspect me everytime we play so I can't say her suspicion on me was that great a surprise (and actually I can't blame her for voting Shasta either). Also, as I said earlier, she tends to like being the individual-minded, "not going with the flow" player, so I would be more surprised if she started bandwagoning...

Zil you are worried about lynching Glirdy without him being around but want to lynch Mira who is equally un-around. Of the two I think Glirdy looks much worse than Mira.

The difference is that the things I suspected Mira for she's had an opportunity to address. That's not the case with Glirdan.
It seems it's a moot point anyway, as it looks like it's going to be Glirdan toDay.

Oh well. Since everyone else is going with this:

++Glirdan

Better him than me, anyway.

Okay the time is catching on me... I have been thinking this to and fro and think I need to go with

++ Glirdan

Now I'm not perfectly happy with this. Sally and Glirdy bantering there in the beginning was mainly based on IC and I do find Glirdy's style of play or approach quite suspicious basically everytime I play with him. But as my main effort toDay was looking at the votes and how they would come out whether Glirdy was innocent or a wolf I just can't let go of that mindset now. I'd have a much clearer view on things if I knew what was his alignment. As sad as it is to say, we can afford a mislynch now as we are 13 against 3, but being honest, I do think we have better chances of getting a wolf by lynching Glirdan than with many others.

And just to sum up my ideas if I'm not here to share them toMorrow:

- if Glirdan is lynched and he turns out innocent, it would mean that:
Lommy looks somewhat bad.
skip (add also his staunch defence of Glirdy which could be trying to barr the revealment of his innocence) and Inzil would look quite bad.
- if Glirdan is lynched and he turns out a wolf, it would mean that:
Shasta and Mira would look quite bad.
Greenie and Agan would look relatively bad.

More details from my posts #486, #490 and #491.

EDIT: X'd with Zil...
